    T Tuesday: Piping hot edition

    October 22, 2013 - By 

    red green teaSo glad you stopped by to join me for T stands for Tuesday.

    Now that the weather has turned, I’ve been consuming a lot of tea once my coffee is gone each morning.

    I think I spent a bit too much time in the cold garage painting my Pumpkin Minions…I definitely picked up some sort of bug.  Little J is home sick today with me. I guess I shared…wasn’t that nice of me?

    Did you notice  the shape in the steam?

    Look closely…

    heart tea

     

    Did you see the heart?

    I thought that was super cool…or maybe I should say hot. *grin*

    It’s going to be a really low key day around here.

    What are doing today?

    T Tuesday: hot soup, hot scoop edition

    October 15, 2013 - By 

    misoThanks for stopping by once again for T stands for Tuesday hosted by the one and only     Dr. E, Queen of Free.

    I made myself a mug of miso not only to warm my hands but my insides as well.

    So that’s the hot soup…what about the hot scoop?

    Well…after 13.5 years or so of being a stay at home mom, I am now gainfully employed. I’ve been added to the sub list for our school district. I still have an orientation to go to but other than that, I’m ready to work again.

    ornaments

    I’ll still be crafting, making art and blogging.

    I had to show some of the ornaments I made last week.  I made some others but they sold and I never photographed them. Bummer!! Although I do know one of the ladies who bought 3 of them…think it would be weird for me to ask her if I could take a picture??

    T Tuesday: Fast paced edition

    October 8, 2013 - By 

    It’s been a whirlwind of activity around here since last week. I think the last time I’ve had two hours to rest during the day was when I was in the salon, last T Tuesday, getting my hair done.

    I’ve been sewing like crazy. On both fabric…

    cup cozy

    And paper.

    sewn cards

    Of course, some painting as well.

    painted series

    In fact I have some spray painted goodies in the garage right now. Hopefully I’ll get everything done for Saturday. I have so many ideas now at the last minute for my craft sale. That’s the way it always works with me. I come down to the wire and my mind starts racing with new items to add to my table.

    In addition to my “crafty crap”, as Mr. G so affectionately refers to it,  I have these this on my list.

    • a chapter to read for my bookclub tomorrow.
    • finish A Wrinkle in Time for Big J’s “partners in reading” project….yes, I get homework too.
    • mow the lawn…bagging it since there are so many leaves.

    As well as the regular Tuesday stuff…knitting group, pesky household chores and  visiting T Stands for Tuesday blogs.
